"I stayed here back in September. I would like to start with the pros of this hotel. The rooms were small but cozy, the staff were very nice, the rooms were clean, and the hotel is in a great location. The bar downstairs was a really cool place to sit and have a drink with music. With the pros, there were some cons. The shower and toilet were “open concept” so it felt odd to walk straight from the shower..."
"I love the look and feel of this place. Oh, if the walls could talk. We arrived early so it was quiet at first. Service was great and the bartender was very friendly. Wish we could have stayed longer!"
"Been 4 years since my last 2 month visit during Christmas under different circumstances. Took my first ever cruise and my First stop was Alaskan hotel and bar. Not much had changed but the service staff. Ran into Sarah and she set the vibe right off the bat! Great drinks, great knowledge, sent us in the right direction, started out on the right foot! Stopping back at the end of her shift to buy her a round"
"This is a review of the bar only. This place is legendary and legitimate, locals drink here when tourists aren't around. Walk in the front door, past the stage and stairs landing on your right, past the bar on your left. Greet the bartender and say you will be back for a drink in a moment. Continue walking to the back, where a game area is off to your left and the restrooms are off to your right, but go..."
"An older hotel with lots of character. Clean, comfortable but small rooms. Great location. Staff were great, especially Terence on the front desk."
"The rooms were clean and in good enough shape, the bar downstairs was a fun time and the noise from it never made it to our room just upstairs. It’s conveniently located in the heart of the tourist district and has access to tons of things nearby. The price was unbeatable for the area, and while it’s no Ritz Carlton the Alaskan Hotel & Bar is great value for your money and I’d happily stay here again!"
"This review is for the bar. Stopped by for a quick drink, service was quick and friendly. Wish I could have stayed longer to listen to the live music but I had to leave to catch my tour."
"Historic, quirky hotel in downtown Juneau. Perfect location. No lift, so bit of a trek to the third floor with suitcases. Room was spacious and clean. A bit tired looking. Could have benefited from some proper curtains and a fan. No air conditioning. Bit of noise at night but nothing to write home about. Was disappointed the resident ghost didnt make an appearance."
